 * I have the code below to list the lastest posts on a page outside the content
   area. I am trying to add the post image to each one aswell but cant seem to get
   this correct. I just want a small image on each post line.
 *     ```
       <?php
           $args = array( 'numberposts' => 6, 'post_status'=>"publish",'post_type'=>"post",'orderby'=>"post_date");
           $postslist = get_posts( $args );
           foreach ($postslist as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
              <div class="events">
                    <p><strong><?php the_date(); ?></strong></p>
                  <p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" target="blank" ><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
             </div><br>
       <?php endforeach; ?>
       ```
   
 * Many thanks

 * what is a ‘post image’ ?
 * = any one of the images in the post?
 * for instance, try the plugin [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-the-image/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-the-image/)
 * or
    = ‘featured image’?

 * I have read this already [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail)
   
   unfortunately IM no too good with coding.

 * I guess not 🙂 Pretty much cut and paste.
 *     ```
       <p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" target="blank" >
       <?php
       if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
         the_post_thumbnail();
       }
       ?>
       <?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       ```

 * I pasted your code with my modification into a blank test page and it works fine.
   Note that the image must be attached as a featured image. Simply inserting a 
   thumbnail will not work. The function name is misleading.

 * try alternatively, to change this line:
 *     ```
       <p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" target="blank" ><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       ```
   
 * for instance to:
 *     ```
       <p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" target="blank" ><?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID); ?><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       ```
   
 * what exactly is ‘not working’?
    can you provide a link to your site to illustrate
   the result of the suggested codes?
